00:24.09CIA-403pb 07 * r1.2790.1.1 10openembedded/packages/ntp/ (files/readline.patch ntp_4.1.2.bb ntp-ssl_4.1.2.bb):
00:24.09CIA-4patch ntp to only use -lreadline with executables that actually need it,
00:24.09CIA-4so that ntpdate doesn't drag readline and ncurses into handheld rootfs.
00:25.33CIA-403pb 07 * r1.2793 10openembedded/packages/pcmcia-cs/pcmcia-cs_3.2.8.bb: split out some esoteric pcmcia-cs stuff into separate packages
00:26.54Mech422anyone tried building the 'epia' machine on an x86 lately ?
00:27.23Mech422or should I be using 'native' for x86 on x86 instead of 'epia' ?
00:27.23pb_yeah
00:27.28pb_I build epia fairly often
00:27.46Mech422pb_: I've been having problems with it ...
00:27.56Mech422right now, it can't build uclibc ?
00:28.08pb_ah.  I wouldn't know anything about uclibc.
00:28.20clorabitpb_, what should i do to build my source with oe ?
00:28.28Mech422Hmm - trust me to pick the combination no one else uses :-P
00:28.51pb_clorabit: you'd just need to write an appropriate .bb file.
00:28.56Mech422Perhaps I should try: has anyone built uClibC lately ?
00:29.07kergothi just built it for arm about 30 seconds ago
00:29.13kergothuclibc from cvs changed their configs again
00:29.28kergothunless your target arch gets its defconfig updated, it could very well hang at do_configure and fill your disk with the log
00:29.32kergothheh
00:29.37Mech422ahh... perhaps thats the problem...
00:30.04Mech422it was looking for uclibc.config ... but it appears to have been moved to an 'arch' dir (i686, i386, arm, etc ) ?
00:30.17Mech422so I just copied the i686 config up a level
00:30.22kergothyou dont need to do that.
00:30.31kergothOE automatically finds the target arch specific version and uses it
00:30.37kergothif it didnt do that, there's something wrong with your setup
00:30.51Mech422Problem was - epia sets target to i586...
00:31.00Mech422but uclibc only had dirs for i386 and i686 ??
00:31.01kergoththen we need to create an i586 directory
00:31.02kergothand put it there
00:31.07Mech422did that too :-P
00:31.11kergoththats proper.
00:31.20kergothbut again, unless it gets updated, it'll hang in do_configure
00:31.27Mech422I basically shoved it everywhere I thought it might get found :-P
00:31.42Mech422ok - at least know I know the right way
00:32.15Mech422so how do I update it ?  do I need to do a bitkeeper update ?? or does the 'recipe' need to be updated in bitkeeper first ?
00:33.13Mech422kergoth: btw, I noticed one of the i386 files specified the processor as 'PENTIUM4' ...
00:33.29*** join/#oe xep (misha@porter-kresge-apts-59-101.resnet.ucsc.edu)
00:33.35Mech422is that intentional ? or should the i386 arch dir target i386's only ?
00:33.54kergothit doesnt matter, we override the optimizations anyway
00:34.45Mech422ahh - here it is : uclibc/uclibc-cvs/i386/uClibc.config
00:34.50zeckehappy new year
00:34.56Mech422oh ?  how/where is that done ?
00:35.18pb_zecke: happy 2005 to you as well
00:35.40kergothyeah happy new year. here's hoping 2005 doesnt suck
00:35.54pb_hope springs eternal
00:35.55Mech422kergoth: LOL - I'll drink to that !
00:37.25Mech422kergoth: how should I fix/alter my uClibC stuff to work properlly with the new upstream changes ?
00:37.39kergothcd tmp/work/uclibc-blahblah/uClibc
00:37.41kergothmake oldconfig
00:37.44kergothhit enter through the prompts
00:37.52kergothcopy .config over that uClibc.config in your packages area
00:37.59kergoththen clean and rebuild it
00:38.02anderseekergoth: any idea why 'bitbake opie-image' insists on moving everything to the morgue, and then package opie-image-1.0-r10: task do_rootfs complains that it can't find anything
00:38.17kergothandersee: because ipkg is a little shit.
00:38.22kergothbeyond that, dunno
00:38.23anderseeheheheh
00:38.50Mech422kergoth: that bombs ount for me :-(
00:38.52pb_ipkg isn't actually involved in that.
00:38.59kergoth"bombs out" how?
00:39.00Mech422Clibc$ make oldconfig
00:39.04anderseepb_: oh?
00:39.09pb_I think jamey's new implementation of ipkg_compare_versions leaves a bit to be desired, though.
00:39.10Mech422make: i586-oe-linux-uclibc-gcc: Command not found
00:39.25pb_andersee: if you set CVSDATE_ipkg-utils-native back to 20041201 or so, it should work.
00:39.27kergothMech422: export PATH=/path/to/your/build/tmp/cross/bin:$PATH
00:39.29kergothMech422: heh.
00:39.34Mech422ahh...
00:39.40kergothpb_: ah, right, the ipkg.py bits
00:39.42kergothforgot about that
00:39.46pb_yeah

00:40.24kergothpb_: fyi, i'm using docbook for a design spec for bitbake-ng. its in the bitbake-ng repo at berlios. feel free to add things
00:40.25anderseeand tries yet again
00:40.33pb_kergoth: cool
00:40.57Mech422perhaps trying uclibc for my first build was not a good idea ?
00:41.11kergothandersee: ah, thatd be nice
00:41.16Mech422would glibc be a better choice for a newbie ?
00:41.17anderseeMech422: uclibc is perfect.  better than perfect.  :-)
00:41.33anderseeMech422: yeah, probably
00:41.40Mech422andersee: I've been trying to build 'epia' 'linux-uclibc' for hours now
00:41.51Mech422andersee: and it looks like its still trying to build the 'cross' tools ?
00:42.25kergothMech422: why dont you look at line 31 of .config?

00:43.24Mech422kergoth: will do..
00:43.30eddy1981_pb_, can u help me what should i do to build my source with oe ?
00:43.48pb_eddy1981_: just write an appropriate .bb file.
00:43.56anderseekergoth: I have some familiarity with the nethack codebase.  When I did the nethack gnome port, I even make it to automake/autoconf, though that part was never merged upstream
00:44.15kergothah
00:44.16Mech422kergoth: doesn't seem to exist ...
00:44.22kergothMech422: ?
00:44.30Mech422.config file doesn't appear to be there
00:44.32anderseekergoth: figured it shouldn't be too hard, once I can get the $@#$@$ oe build to work...
00:44.42kergothMech422: then copy uClibc.config to .config, run make oldconfig, then copy it back
00:45.16kergothandersee: heh, oe is nice, but it tends to be a rather moving target :)
00:45.32eddy1981_pb_, ah thx
00:46.21zeckepb_: New year, its time for the bootldr on my simpad
00:46.26Mech422hmm - it appears line 31 is 'help text' for the menu
00:46.27zeckepb_: do you know where I can get it from?
00:46.30Mech422whacking it
00:46.41kergothMech422: ?
00:46.45zeckeI "know" the procedure to get it flashed...
00:47.00pb_zecke: http://handhelds.org/~pb/bootldr-SIMpad-2.21.13.bin.gz
00:47.02pb_try that one
00:47.13Mech422kergoth: line 31 of the config file says 'help'
00:47.25Mech422then is followd by a long text block
00:47.31Mech422talking about processor choices
00:47.32kergothno, it doesnt.
00:47.40kergothi said to copy uClibc.config out of your openembedded tree
00:47.45kergothnot the config files in the source tree
00:47.50kergothheh
00:47.56Mech422oh - sorry
00:49.36zeckepb_: Hmm I know I need to call genboot now load it, and then 'load boot' but... do you've a procedure somewhere :}
00:49.48RPAh. The backlight LED driver has upto a 600mA inrush current. That could explain a 1A fuse rating...
00:52.00Mech422kergoth: ok - now I need  i586-oe-linux-uclibc-gcc to build uClibc ??
00:52.05kergoth?
00:52.14kergoth18:28 < kergoth> Mech422: export PATH=/path/to/your/build/tmp/cross/bin:$PATH
00:52.28kergothyou arent building uclibc, you're just running 'make oldconfig'
00:52.32Mech422there isn't a make: i586-oe-linux-uclibc-gcc in that dir
00:52.40kergothif it needs the toolchain for that, we need to smack andersee
00:52.45kergothMech422: huh?
00:52.58pb_zecke: Alex has a special build of the bootldr that you can boot with serload.  Once that's running, you use "load bootldr" to install it as normal.

00:54.35Mech422ahh... I thought they were channel specific
00:54.49Mech422anyway - looks to me like its looking for the tool chaing
00:54.50kergothand those Command not found's werent errors.
00:54.59kergoththe error was:  ../../.config:31: *** missing separator.  Stop.
00:55.07kergothand even if it was erroring at the toolchain, i already gave you the command to fix that
00:55.12kergothyou need to pay attention
00:55.40Mech422I do pay attention dude... but there a ton of .config files and you keep abbreviation the paths
00:55.45kergothhuh?
00:55.57kergothexport PATH=/path/to/your/build/tmp/cross/bin:$PATH <-thats pretty clear to me
00:56.05Mech422thats done
00:56.27kergothif it was, you wouldnt get those Command not found errors. but they're irrelevent anyway
00:56.31kergothas i already told you before
00:56.36kergothlook at line 31 of .config
00:56.41kergothin tmp/work/uclibc-blah/uClibc/
00:56.43Mech422yes I would -= I DONT have that gcc bin
00:56.47Mech422it wasn't built yet

00:57.30zeckekergoth: I deserve to get kicked :}
00:57.34pb_hehe
00:57.55anderseekergoth: btw, it turns out the problem I was having getting networking running on my 6000L was the wireless driver kept wanting to oops

01:02.02reenoo_hrm, looks like I'm not getting anywhere near a working openswan setup
01:02.14pb_oh dear
01:04.43reenoo_I wonder if a road warrior setup would be simpler. but I don't think it would do what I want. i.e. encrypt everything going over wireless, not just packets with the destination in my own network
01:06.27anderseesigh, so close now..
01:06.38anderseewhere does openembedded/build/tmp/rootfs/etc/ipkg.conf come from?
01:06.59kergothread the rootfs bbclass
01:08.53anderseekergoth: can we safely assume sed >= 4.0?
01:10.45kergothi'd say so.  if someone doesnt have a recent sed, we have sed-native in oe. just need to bitbake sed-native and go from there
01:10.48kergothwhy do you ask?
01:11.40anderseethe file manipulations being done with 'cat foo | sed -e "blah" > foo_; rm foo; mv foo_ foo' look decidedly unsafe. and apparently in my case are...
01:12.19anderseemuch simpler and safer to edit in place with 'sed -i -e "s/x/y/g" foo'
01:12.30anderseebut that requires >= sed 4.0
01:12.43kergothi'm sure some of our packages already use -i
01:12.59anderseek
01:13.35reenoo_pb_: is rxvt-unicode-4.7 any better?
01:13.38kergothhow's it unsafe?  i mean, clearly someoen could modfiy foo_ after it gets written out but before it gets moved to foo, which would be bad, but..

01:18.10CIA-403pb 07 * r1.2796 10openembedded/packages/pango/pango_1.8.0.bb: update pango to 1.8.0
01:19.39reenoo_pb_: fonts look ugly and a few keys don't work (may be an xkbd issue though)
01:19.55pb_can you be more specific about the fonts?
01:20.07pb_rxvt just uses xft to do the rendering.  It doesn't have much control over what they look like.
01:20.32pb_as for the keys, test to see if they work in gpe-edit.
01:21.23reenoo_the keys in question work fine in gpe-edit
01:21.39reenoo_as for the fonts. that may just be the font size
01:21.45pb_in that case, it probably is an rxvt bug.
01:21.49CIA-403pb 07 * r1.2797 10openembedded/packages/atk/atk_1.9.0.bb: update atk to 1.9.0
01:21.52pb_I recommend you send a bug report to the rxvt list.
